Haircare
Hi,
Well, I have a birthdaughter 11 years old now and are awaiting a new adoptive child. My birhtdaughter is biracial. It is very important to only brush their hair while it is wet. If you brush it dry it rips their hair out. Also, I dont like the pink moisturizer for her hair. Since she is mixed she has a different texture to her hair. I had to find shampoos and conditioners with a lot of lanilin in it. Right now the best products are Loreal for kids the individual bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Dont buy the mixed bottles or plus bottles. They have a lot of alcohol in them. This will break their hairs as well. Also, Pantene for curls is good and their leave in conditioner when you brush it. Remember to only use a wide tooth comb to brush it out and no brushes w/ the bubbles on the end of the bristles. What my daughter is using now is my shampoo from Victoria's Secret. Love Passion I believe. It has a smoothing agent that works great.
And remember when you cut their hair only do it when it is very wet and with a fine tooth comb. and only do it by each lock or curl. That will be over a 1/4 inch off the hair for each half curl when their hair dries.
At 2 years old I personally cut my daughter's hair and she had an afro for about 8 months. Now she is 11 and has hair down to her back that we now get straightened since it is so thick.
